Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 494 - 460: Tuling Village

Qin Qing suddenly sat up from the bed.

After spitting out a lump of almost congealed dirty blood from his mouth, he breathed heavily for a few times.

The intense pain throughout his body made him realize that this was not a dream.

He was not dead.

In that battle, the last sword that appeared allowed him to survive.

"That sword qi, appearing from the sky. Its mightiness was even stronger than Zhao Wuji’s by far. Who on earth could it be?"

"Who could it be... Why did they save me with that sword?"

"Also..."

Qin Qing frowned tightly, there was another feeling.

That was, within the sword qi, there was a sense of familiarity.

Then, Qin Qing’s gaze fell upon Su Wanqing, who had just walked in.

"Was it you who saved me?"

Qin Qing looked at the girl who appeared to be around thirteen or fourteen years old.

She had delicate features, with a pair of big, clear eyes, very pure.

"You, you, you’ve awakened," the girl evidently got a fright, looking somewhat scared at Qin Qing.

"Yes. Thank you for saving me!" Qin Qing, realizing his actions had frightened the little girl, showed a kind smile.

"I... my grandfather asked me to check on you. He said you were torn up by a ferocious beast, seriously injured, so he made chicken soup for you," the girl said.

"Alright, thank you, little sister."

Qin Qing nodded with a smile, the little girl about the same age as his own sister.

They also bore a slight resemblance in appearance.

Besides, on this little girl’s body, there were also traces of malnutrition.

And since his own sister had just left his side, Qin Qing felt somewhat reluctant in his heart, so he subconsciously treated this girl as his own sister.

He got out of bed.

His body still sent waves of severe pain.

This time, the injuries were too severe.

Since awakening his Dragon Blood Physique, Qin Qing had never suffered such grave injuries.

He tried to circulate the Emperor Dragon Secret Technique, but to little avail.

His meridians had sustained too much damage.

Although the Dragon Blood Physique had a strong self-healing ability, Qin Qing’s injuries were too severe this time, with his qi-blood nearly dried up.

Besides, his dantian had also been drained, and even his Martial Soul had fallen into a silent state.

So... recovery for Qin Qing became very difficult.

Luckily... everything was still repairable.

It’s just that the recovery speed in the preliminary stage would be rather slow.

Bearing the pain, Qin Qing followed the little girl into the main house.

The old man was carrying the stewed chicken soup, walking out of the kitchen, showing a smile on his wrinkled face upon seeing Qin Qing.

"Young man, you’ve awakened. It’s good that you have..."

The old man looked at Qin Qing, pulled him to sit down, and served him a bowl of thick chicken soup.

"Xiaoqing, you sit down too. Have chicken soup and eat chicken meat together with this brother," the old man said.

"Oh..." Su Wanqing sat down, looking at the chicken soup in her bowl with a hint of reluctance.

Qin Qing drank a bowl of chicken soup, and it tasted excellent.

Richly fragrant, with a faint sweetness.

It seemed it had been a long time since he had tasted such delicious chicken soup.

This was a very simple ingredient.

Just an ordinary farmhouse-reared hen.

For a martial artist, this hardly counted as a high-grade ingredient.

In the mountains, there were plenty of ferocious beasts and spiritual objects, which not only tasted delicious but also contained spiritual energy, naturally making them taste even better.

But at that moment... the bowl of chicken soup that Qin Qing drank gave him a sense of ’returning to purity and simplicity.’

Yes!

Returning to purity and simplicity.

Everything went back to the source.

Just then, in Qin Qing’s originally dried-up dantian, a drop of spiritual energy liquid suddenly appeared.

"Who would have thought, at my body’s weakest point, this ingredient without spiritual energy would turn out to be a real tonic!" Qin Qing couldn’t help but be surprised.

He had thought a bowl of chicken soup wouldn’t do much.

After all, his physical body was of the Dragon Blood Physique, which needed a large amount of spiritual energy nourishment to have a healing effect.

However, in reality, a bowl of chicken soup had actually caused a substantial change in his physical body.

"Young man, is it good?" The old man watched Qin Qing kindly.

"Yes, it’s very good!" Qin Qing replied truthfully.

"If it tastes good, drink a few more bowls! You have severe injuries and need to strengthen your body," the old man filled another bowl for Qin Qing.

Qin Qing finished it in one gulp.

Two bowls, three bowls...

Qin Qing drank five bowls in a row and ate all the chicken meat cleanly.

And by then, Qin Qing also discovered that in his dantian, spiritual energy began to gather on its own. The meridians that were congested throughout his body also showed signs of loosening.

After examining his body’s condition, Qin Qing also breathed a long sigh of relief.

It seemed that things weren’t as bad as he had imagined.

"Grandfather, why aren’t you eating?"

Then Qin Qing noticed that the old man had been serving him soup all along, watching him eat the chicken and drink the soup, yet the old man had not tasted a single bite.

"Hmph!"

The girl next to him finally snorted discontentedly, looking at Qin Qing with some anger.

Qin Qing was puzzled.

With dissatisfaction, the girl said, "This chicken, my grandfather raised for three years, he never had the heart to kill it. He was willing to kill it only because he saw you were seriously injured, to strengthen you with it. But you ate it all by yourself, and my grandfather didn’t even get a taste!"

"This was our last chicken. We haven’t had meat for over half a year."
